Pedro Santana Lopes, mayor of Figueira da Foz, shared this Monday, on the NOW program, three literary suggestions. The choices include "The Best Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" by Arthur Conan Doyle, published by Relógio D'Água publishing house, "Atlas of Vanishing Places" by Travis Elborough, and "Song of Solomon" by Toni Morrison.
About the first recommendation, Santana Lopes commented that, given the current state of the world, it is necessary to investigate to discover the secrets of people he considers to be "loose," referring to them as "crazy." The mayor argued that it is useful to learn from this iconic figure of literature.
The NOW program, where the suggestions were presented, appears to be a space for cultural and literary sharing. Santana Lopes, as mayor, used this platform to share his reading recommendations with the public.
The choice of works reflects diverse interests, from classics of detective literature with Sherlock Holmes, through a book about vanishing places, to the work of Toni Morrison, Nobel Prize in Literature.
